Marie Stopes have abortion centres across England and have recently established one in Belfast

Claims that Marie Stopes International is to carry out abortions at a new centre in Belfast have been condemned by SPUC.

It is irresponsible and crass for the abortion giant to suggest it would provide abortions at a newly-established centre. The procedure is only legal when there is a serious danger to the mother's life. SPUC has twice taken Northern Ireland health department to court to force it to withdraw abortion guidelines, because they failed to reflect the law accurately.

SPUC was proved correct in its approach to the law on both occasions. [SPUC, 11 October]
